LITERACY

Starter:

Look at the words you wrote down yesterday from the theme music and your C.S.I. What did you think are the themes throughout this book?

Activity:

I can create a board game relating to the story line and theme of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Have a look at this example based on Danny the Champion of the World.

This board game takes you through the storyline. It has sections that requires you to either answer a question, spell a word or define a word’s meaning.

Can you create your own board game for our story? You could use “?” and have questions set up to answer.

You might decide to not use spelling or questions and perhaps draw a picture and someone has to say what was happening in the story or draw or write a character and they have to say who it is and what their personality was like.

Plenary:

Can you get someone to play your game at home? Or a friend over a video call or email it to me: dpark@woodlands.n-lanark.sch.uk

I hope you are able to spend some time outside in the sunshine, remember to stay safe and remember your sun-cream ☀️ 😎🌼

MATHS:

Starter: 

Order numbers from lowest to highest (remember in negative numbers, the higher the negative, the further away from 0 it is, the lower the number.)

Eg.

-243 ,  -543, – 45, 0

Lowest is -543 (it is the furthest away from 0)

Then it would be -243

Then -45 (is getting closer to 0)

And the highest number is 0.

Try this game:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?a=activity04

Activity: I can work out how much each child has.

If Clare has £25 but she owes £30, she technically has -£5 as she still owes £5.
